French was grand, history now...

Im scared!

Jackobyte · 10-02-2010 03:19PM

Spanish was grand but letter didn't really suit. CSPE was a laugh. I'd be disappointed with anything less than 90% in it.

Closed ac · 10-02-2010 05:35PM

Had the same English P1 as the rest of ye, was grand.

Maths P1 on the other hand was very difficult! I'm hoping I got a B, but I think it's unlikely.

WanderingSoul · 10-02-2010 05:58PM

I didn't have that English 1 paper

I had English 2 today; overall it was fine; the Poetry & Fiction essay questions were brilliant, the Drama one was irritating though.

I also had Geography which I found very easy.

Tomorrow I have Science (yay!) and History (not so good . . .). What about you guys?

CookieMonster.x · 10-02-2010 06:13PM

Religion and history today were both disasters. In history, we had to be removed from where we were (this was study time) because there was a problem with the boiler and there was a really bad smell in the gym and it was filling up with smoke :eek: and there was smoke outside above too :eek::eek:
Then we started the history exam 1 hour after that late aswell, might I add. Then the bloody fire alarm went off. So out we all went and that was like loads of time gone and they didn't give us extra time so I didn't get history finished and some of the questions were like what?
And then religion. Bahhhhhh :mad: I was finished the short q's in like 5 minutes. So I went on. Then I realised I had less than 15 minutes for each of the really really long questions in section 4. Have you seen the questions they ask?!?

So then basically, I had five minutes left to do the essay and I didn't even finish the other questions. I just left them and started the essay and I wrote like a really really crappy paragraph with 1 word sentences

Whyyyyy meee It was going great time wise until maths p2 yesterday. Bah don't wanna do anything now.

/rant over, sorry

Atleast tomorrow's my last day, suppose that's one good thing

Science and Home Ec tomorrow.

Yes English too was hard! I barely had enough time!

English Paper 1 and 2

The Play about the student and pupil in theshowers was so funny! And you know the Q1 on paper one about the Safari how many questions did you have to answer on it?

bluejay14 · 10-02-2010 06:29PM

Both business papers were really easy!I finished paper 1 with an hour left so I just sat there after I had checked all of my answers.

During the break between normal classes while we were doing our exam people set the new fire alarm off 16 times in 10 minutes!!!!!!:mad::mad:The wiring of the whole school is being redone and they put new yokes on the walls that you press to set off the fire alarm to replace the old ones but the old ones had glass over them that you had to break if you wanted to set off the alarm but the new ones don't so people just keep pressing them!!!:mad: I can just imagine the story of the boy who cried wolf now.

I'm dreading both histiry and franch tomorrow.We were supposed ot have french first but they switched it and now history syarts at 5 past nine instead of french at 10:(

I think you had to answer all of them.I realised when I was half way through the 2nd one and I saw that 10+15 didn't make up 40 so you had to do them all.

Ya, play was funny. I answered all the comprehension questions i think and then after the test that i wasn't sure how many you were meant to answer. Ah well.

Jackobyte · 10-02-2010 07:16PM

I've both maths papers done.

Last two exams tomorrow!!!!!!

cmccarra · 10-02-2010 07:45PM

Why do people need a watch that beeps on the hour every hour.

Thanks to a few wise guys in the exam hall I can now accurately predict the turn of the hour.

padocon · 10-02-2010 07:54PM

Is it that bad? The bell is louder

Believe me, when 60 watches go off simultaneously, it's like a bad orchestra. Then there's the late guys who don't have their watches set to the right time, don't get me started about them

well, today during my spanish paper some old bat of a supervisor decided she was cold so she put on the heaters in the hall. There are massive yokes that hang from the ceiling of the hall and are 30 years old. The sound off them is ridiculous. I actually had to stop working for the 15 minutes they were on. It didn.t help that i was directly below the blower meaning it repeatedly blew my answer book off the table and turned the pages of my paper!!!

Haha!! Same in my PE hall, the heaters are extremely loud!

Today actually in Science I have never been so much frustrated by the teachers!!:mad:
I was doing a diagram (in pencil) and this teacher took my pen and started writing something on a sheet with it while I waited for her to give me it back, she didn't ask just took it.

Then these two complete nutters! (& when I say that they are bonkers one of them bought me a box of Pringles one time when I was out because he recognized me from school) They were chatting away about women or something of that sort and I just sat there waiting for them to shut up or move!

Next thing to happen was when we were signing the roll thing this teacher made me point out every person in my class and came back again because she got confused!

Last time I'll ever sit in the front row again!

Im almost certain thats the maths paper I got.
In paper one

was the sets question like digital camera, tv and something?

Actually I cant remember if that was the sets question or one I practiced

It sounds like my paper though!
How'd you find it? Thought paper 2 was hard.

My history paper..(It went bad)

one of the documents was about the Irish rebels and for one of the picture questions you had two name what style(romansque/gothic)

Jackobyte · 10-02-2010 09:07PM

After looking through my history papers for the first ever time, i honestly believe i could fail.

WanderingSoul · 10-02-2010 09:09PM

Yep! That's the same paper!

I thought paper 2 was quite hard, it could be have been easier, it could have been harder.

I haven't done History. It's my last exam which is . . . tomorrow afternoon! \o/
